The Temensis Peacock Bass is a stunning addition to my aquarium. Its colors are vivid and it stays active throughout the day. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in a 20-gallon tank with tetras and corydoras. Water parameters are stable and the fish seems healthy and curious.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. It’s not the most active, but it does swim around and explore the tank. I keep it with peaceful fish and the water conditions are easy to maintain. Slight adjustment to pH was needed at first, but now it’s stable.

I was impressed by how fast it adapted to the tank. The colors are more vibrant than in photos. It’s a great centerpiece for a community tank. I’ve noticed it’s more active during the day and rests at night.
